What A Wonderful World Card

Lately I’ve been in the mood to craft! Specifically, I’ve been in the mood to make cards – beautiful, inspirational cards. The kind that say you’re special and lift you up when you’re in a funk.

Creating beautiful cards begins with the right supplies. If you love pretty, unique paper, check out my latest find – Wholeport Origami Paper. These gorgeous papers are perfect for card-making! They come in a variety of colors and designs – they are the perfect weight and texture for layering – and the gold-lined flowers iridescently shimmer in the light!

I also love lace, and Wholeport offers luscious lace at great prices!

Something old, something new – that seems to be my favorite pairing these days. In the tried and true category, I turned to Close To My Heart for my inks and the sweet sentiment, which reminds me of Louis Armstrong’s classic song, What A Wonderful World. The sentiment comes from the timeless CTMH stamp set, D1153, Because Of You.

You can never go wrong with flowers and bling! You could do it the old fashion way – paper punch and hand set each rhinestone – or the easy way – Flora Doodles! I’ll let you guess which option I chose.

Very pretty card Ramona, lovely sentiment. “What I’m making” is simplicity itself! I’ll reveal it next week along with the template to make it. WOYWW always gets my adrenaline going! I have a cold and have wanted to go to bed for over an hour, but Julia hadn’t posted and I simply couldn’t go until she had!! And now, here I am visiting people, lol!

Yea we’re all hooked! Thanks Julia! Yep me too, wait for the link to go live then visit a few peeps and before I know it’s 1:00 am here! Love the card! And you’re right, those origami papers are delish! Oho, printer coughed up a hair ball I take it?! 🙂 off to check out wordless Wednesday. Happy WOYWW! Nan G #7

The Origami paper is from Wholeport. At the moment, they are out of this particular pattern so I could not find a link to it on the site (I contacted them because I wanted to order some more of this pattern!)

Hopefully they will have more in stock soon as it is so lovely – but, in the meantime, I encourage you to check out their other gorgeous papers!

Thanks Julia – I love this paper too! I am so bummed to learn that they are currently out of this pattern as I had hoped to order more of it!
Oh well, I put every inch of my paper to use. I have one more card I’ll be sharing in the weeks to come! 🙂

I like this card you made. I wish I could get motivated to do a little crafting. BTW, I have a NEW Twitter account, can you please follow me now @ETNHome? I’ll do in like kind. Thanks & have a happy WW!

We Are All Creative

Creativity is not necessarily a special calling or gift from God to the few, it is a natural expression of the fact that we are created in the image of God, who is the Creator. It is His thumbprint on our souls, a part of His signature. The real question is, “How will I live out this fingerprint of God on my life?”
